This outfit feels kind of sporty to me, what with it’s combination of rugby stripes, plaid and lace-up shoes:
Could I, in fact, play sports in this? Hell no. Unless, of course, “hobbled running” or “falling over” are sports, then I’d be a world champion for sure.
I like to think I’d also be a world champion at pattern mixing; I love the plaid skirt (vintage via Goodwill) paired with the striped sweater (Gap via Goodwill). I also added a thrifted belt, Nine West booties (TJ Maxx) and burgundy tights (Hue). It wasn’t actually cold enough for tights today, but I hadn’t shaved my legs (it’s winter, people, and I’m single) and I needed someplace to tuck my sweater.
Honestly, I don’t know how other bloggers tuck their sweaters and manage to remain so svelte. Without the tights I looked like I was smuggling sausages in my undies. I’m still a bit lumpy with the tights, but those could be Gracey-lumps, not sweater-lumps, so who knows?
Do any of you have any advice for tucking sweaters without looking like a smoked meats smuggler? Or is it just foolhardy to try?
Happy Thursday, All!
Gracey
